simoKERs-PIrE WINDSHIELD.

Application filed March 25, 1924. Serial No. 701,700.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ann E. SoHoNINe, a subject of Gustavus V of Sweden, and a resident of 1742 VVoodhaven Boulevard, lNoodhaven, in the county of Queens, city and State of New York, have invented a certain Improvement in Smokers-Pipe Windshields, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to smokers pipe wind shields, and especially that class wherein an arcuate plate is interiorly rifled and adapted to be supported upon the bowl portion of a pipe in either lower inoperative position or raised operative position.

The main object of my invention is to provide smokers with a pipe having a disappearing wind shield adapted for use when lighting the pipeand made interiorly rifled to form the striking surface for a match.

Further objects and attained advantages will appear hereinafter as the specification proceeds.

In the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, Fig. 1 is a view of a pipe furnished with a shield made accordim to my invention, the shield being in raised operative position.

Fig. 2 is another view of the same with the shield withdrawn in low position.

Fig. 3 is a view of the shield of the former views.

Fig. 1 is a modification of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is another view of the same with the shield in withdrawn position.

Fig. 6 is another modification of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7 is another view of the same with the shield in inoperative position.

F i 8 is a View of a pipe with an altered shield.

Fig. 9 is a top view of the shield of Fi 8.

Fig. 10 is a rear View of theshield when the two leaves thereof are joined by a piece of spring steel.

Throughout the views, like reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Smokers of all classes frequently find occasion to light their pipes in public places such as on railroad platforms, on the streets and country roads or in other more or less open places, and therefore,-often are annoyed by the wind blowing out their light or match before the pipe has been lighted. In order to overcome this trouble the present invention has been proposed.

In the practice of my invention, a pipe 1 having a bowl 2 may be employed and also having the customary fire chamber 3. In the bowl a slot 7 may be cut to form a recess for an arcuatewind shield 4, the lugs 8-8 being adapted to engage the upper portions of the slot similar to 9 on either side to retain the shield in the slot, lug 5 serving as a handle for the shield.

The shield is interiorly rifled as at 6 in order to provide a good striking surface for an ordinary match, it being obvious that if the pipe bowl be pointed toward the Wind, a match can easily be struck within the shield and remain lighted because of its protection. When thus used, the shield maybe depressed into the bowl as in Fig. 2. p

In Fig. 4 the bowl has a shoulder 11 and is adapted to carry the shield outside the same, the shield partly enveloping the bowl, especially as noted in Fig. 5. Instead of an upper lug 5, a knob 10 is here provided by which to raise and lower the shield.

In Fig. 6, the slot 7 is simply omitted and the shield inserted in the fire chamber, and Fig. 7 showing the shield depressed.

In Fig. 8, the shield envelopes the bowl 2 and is made of leaves 12 and 15 hinged at 13. A spring 16 tends to keep the parts of the shield in good frictional contact with the bowl to prevent the shield from dropping off, while a knob 14 furnishes the grip by which to raise the shield.

It is not necessary to depend on a coil spring similar to 16, but the shield may have its members joined by a piece of spring steel which is riveted to the members and which acts like the spring in clamping the shield on the pipe bowl. It is clear, also, that the shield may be made of one piece as shown in the other views and be resilient throughout for the same purpose.

It is obvious that the principle involved in the shape of the shield is the same in the various views and likewise, the principle of having the shield envelope the light at first and the fire afterward in all cases, Whether leaves hinged together and provided With a in contact therewith or not. spring to close said leaves upon said bowl.
